NECKTIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 22, 11916.

Application filed June 22, 1914. Serial No. 846,674.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnr BAUMGARTEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Arlington, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to neck-ties and particularly to neck-ties that have a more or less loose lining, such, for example, as four-in-hand ties and club ties, and coinprises a simple means for firmly anchoring the ends of the lining to the material of the tie for the purpose of holding these parts securely together under all conditions of use, and prevent distortion of the tie by the pulling incident to adjusting and tying.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a view of a complete four-inhand tie showing the anchor clips, and the position they occupy. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 2-2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line 33. Fig. i is a detail view of one of the anchor clips.

The tie 10 is made as usual of an outer strip 11 of textile material folded into a flat tubular shape with the long edges of the strip in contact and stitched together preferably in the longitudinal center of the tie on the inner side thereof. Within the folded tie a strip of stronger textile material 12 is inserted to form a lining therefor and give body to the portion of the tie that passes around the neck of the wearer and is folded and tied into a knot. The lining 12 does not extend to the extreme ends of the tie as this is not necessary, the ends of the lining are, however, secured to the material forming the casing or exterior of the tie on the inner face thereof by an anchoring de vice 13 at each end in the form of a clip or staple of any convenient shape made preferably of metal with two or more prongs projecting from one side that easily penetrate the material of the tie and the lining and are then bent over to grip the lining firmly and hold it securely with the outer casing or material of the tie. The outer surface of the clips or staples is made smooth with a flat rounded or beveled head to prevent catching in thetie or any part of the clothing when knotting the tie. The clips or staples are easily and quickly applied, and being rigid and unyielding they hold the material embraced by the prongs firmly in place and render it impossible for the material of the tie to gather .in folds: and they further prevent distortion of the tie and loss of shape by holding the lining closely to the under portion of the tie. Two anchoring devices only are used, one near end of the tie and sufhciently far apart to permit the tie to ride freely through a collar when drawn endwise, and be free from interference with the operation of knotting the .tie.

What I claim as new is,-

The combination of a necktie, comprising a tubular casing having its longitudinal edges stitched together to :1 point spaced inwardly from each end of the necktie and a. lining in the casing terminating at the ends of the stitching; with clips secured through the longitudinal edges of the casing at the ends of the stitching and through ends of the lining to hold the longitudinal edges and the ends of the lining together: said clips having their prongs turned in wardly to present a smooth surface at the underneath side of the tie to prevent the same from becoming caught in the clothing.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
